Hi,
I got lucky for the mining pool that I was in and found them 1600 coins. For the length of time that I was in the pool and my hashrate I should only have made about 300 coins or so. 300 is about the amount that the pool paid out to me too. I know its fair and thats the way it works.
However, it did inspire me to perhaps try solo mining for a bit even though I know full well that there is absolutely no reason why my luck would continue.
I set up the RPC config and ran feathercoin-qt with the -server option, connected cgminer to it, etc, and it was crunching away to itself for a good while. Every now and again I see this in the output…

Just wondering if anyone could clear up what it meant? I know why shares get rejected in a pool (the block was already found and the pool had moved on, I think), but why would something get rejected in solo mining? Does it mean that it actually found a block and the block got rejected, or something else?
